The answer from my colleague:

You actually don't need to run vcvarsall.bat manually. CLion will take care of it. You need to:
configure Visual Studio toolchain in CLion
specify this toolchain in your preset using this JSON fragment:

"vendor": {
    "jetbrains.com/clion": {
      "toolchain": "<toolchain-name>"
    }
}

Here's a more detailed instruction: jetbrains.com/help/clion/cmake-pre...

That's even better than asking the support directly! Thanks 😁

It does work if I add the key to the derived preset, but it does work on the base preset. It seems that the "vendor" map is not inherited.

When I read the documentation, it looks like a bug to me:

vendor

An optional map containing vendor-specific information. CMake does not interpret the contents of this field except to verify that it is a map if it does exist. However, it should follow the same conventions as the root-level vendor field. If vendors use their own per-preset vendor field, they should implement inheritance in a sensible manner when appropriate.

Yeah, you are right. Now there is a ticket about it
